[email protected] ABSTRACT. The ever rising transistor densities and switching speeds in microprocessors have been accompanied a dramatic increase in the system heat flux and power dissipation. In this context the rising IC densities combined with even more stringent performance and reliability requirement have made thermal management issues ever more prominent in the design of sophisticated microelectronic systems. So in order to achieve a high degree power dissipation extruded heat sinks, a number of research works have been done in last two decades. It is observed that components of modern portable electronic devices with increasing heat loads with decrease in the space available for heat dissipation. The increasing heat load of the device needs to be removed for maintaining the efficient performance of the device. The exponential increase in thermal load in air cooling devices requires the thermal management system to be optimized to attain the highest performance in the given space.
